Today's Spanish word of the day from SpanishDictionary.com was extraño, translated to "strange." Easy enough. Then I remembered the verb
extrañar translated to "miss," as in "Mi hijo extraña mucho a sus perro." or "My son misses his dog very much." However the verb
extrañar is also translated to "surprise," with the reflexive extrañarse becoming "to be surprised."
Suffice to say, these meanings are very different. How does one tell which is being used? Is it mostly by context?lencho - 10-22-2026 at 08:39 AM
